This ground-floor bar at the Inner Mongolia Hotel may have overblown, kitsch furniture, but there's a calming tranquillity about it that's just the ticket for a morning or afternoon cup of coffee or a recuperative snifter come evening; to top it all, staff are most pleasant and professional and there's often no one around. There's afternoon tea from 3pm to 5pm.
Alcoholic drinks start at ¥18 for a beer or ¥227 for a bottle of wine, and head north. Cocktails are ¥45.
